Home to Beor Goats and celebrations, explore our working farm set amongst beautiful meadows and lakes.
The Farm at Radwell known locally as Moor End was brought by JJโs grandfather in the 1960โs, during which much of the land was dug for gravel extraction. Following this, the pits were flooded and over the next 50 years of natural regeneration, the area has become a wildlife haven.
The family farm, Bedfordia, have farmed sheep and dairy cows on the land up until the early 2000โs since then the farm has been rented out for stables and hay cutting.
We started actively farming at Wild Berry in Radwell with the arrival the Boer Goat herd in spring 2020. The twenty-two does we started with have quickly expanded to one hundred plus ladiesโฆ with a little help from our two pedigree Boer billies!
Itโs a real joy to be the 4th generation farming this land and working with what previous generations and natural regeneration has created over the last 60 years.
Wide Floodplains have been managed through countryside schemes since the early 2000s. Species-rich swards allow for perfect extensive grazing and haymaking, and buzz with wild excitement throughout the year. Using hay from the countryside plots, reduces the fertility of the soils which favours wildflowers and offers a more diverse hay crop in return that the goats love in the winter months.
The 40ha arable field grows wheat for bread making and the straw is used for the goatโs winter housing.
Manure from the goats and our small flock of free range chickens, also gets spread back on to this land, to fertilise the next years crop.
Countryside plots are growing seeds for birds through the winter, bare ground for birds to nest and flowers for bees and insects to forage for.
Sustainable, free range, regenerative, ethical, natural, wild
